Musician interviews

From Aerosmith to Zawinul

As a journalist, I've been making interviews with internationally well-known musicians working in a wide range of styles since the early '90s, for both print and electronic media.

Although the interviews were originally made in English, they are accessible on the Hungarian website only. In most cases the recordings can't be found any more and it would have taken an enormous effort to translate the published versions back into English. Sorry. Maybe it's time to learn some Hungarian...

The majority of them were published in Zenesz mag ("The Musician"), Blikk, Petofi Radio and several local radio stations, mainly in the '90s. Despite of all the positive feedback I received from both the musicians themselves and the public, the permanent lack of time forced me to reduce this activity significantly.

By the way, the otherwise grandiloquent "A to Z" in the title nearly fell through, because I had to make research in the archives to find the interview with Aerosmith. I'm not a self-documenting kind of person, so it was really difficult to collect all the material when the idea came to my mind that it might be interesting to read what all these people had to say about music 5 or 15 years ago, especially because many of them are still very successful. This is why I couldn't find some interviews, which I definitely remembered. Among others they were made with Jojo Mayer, Bill Evans or Eliza Gilkyson. I'll make them available once I'll find them.

It was a more pleasant sort of surprise when I found interviews that I totally forgot about during all these years. Even myself could read them as something completely new. It seems that being senile is the key to a wealth of new experiences.

The other thing that came to my mind about all this is that being senile is the key to a wealth of new experiences...
